There is a growing demand for more and better road making during the autumn months. In many locali ties the roads become filled with deep ruts and the wheel tracks so de pressed during the summer that they collect rains which soon wash them into gutters which soon ruin the roads for heavy loads and comfortable travel. There is no reason why a portion of I • » A Durable Stone Culvert. the road tax should not be used for putting the highways in good condi tion for travel, says Northwestern Ag riculturist. The split log drag and other road-making implements should be put to work before the ground freezes. The outside of the roads should be brought into the center of the track which will establish a crust that will shed the water, rather than retain rains, which are sure to occur during the late fall and early spring months. Roads having a full-high cen ter are quite sure to remain in good condition during the rainy season of fall and spring. Steep hills, where wa ter is apt to collect in wheel tracks, should be provided with open gutters on each side into which rains may be adverted with an occasional crest oyer which water cannot pass. Approaches to bridges and culverts should be so filled with earth that vehicles of all kinds may pass over them without serious jolts and jars. Roads are much Improved when covered with gravel. This is a season of the year when such work can be accomplished at a mini mum expense. Every township should own gravel pits from which road-ma king material can be cheaply obtained. Concrete roads will soon become pop ular. The same material only should be used in making small bridges and culverts. A good quality of sand and gravel is necessary to make service able concrete. Every farmer should have a special interest in all roads ad joining his premises and leading to market. INCREASE THE LAND VALUES Strong Argument in Favor of Good Roads Is That They Enhance Value of Bordering Farms. It takes all kinds of arguments to interest the numerous types of men found in every community in public improvements. One man will sanction and work for good roads when he is convinced that they will shorten and expedite the haul of some special crop that he produces. Another will assist because he owns a motorcar. One of the most effective arguments is that good roads will enhance the value of farms bordering upon them, says Breeder’s Gazette. j Several real estate dealers in lowa have begun To advertise land as lo cated “on the Lincoln Highway.” Ex perience has shown that this is a strong “talking point.” Os course the great national road is not fin ished, but it is already famous, and since it will steadily increase in his toric interest many properties abut ting it will probably acquire an aug mented selling value. Unfortunately only a small percentage of farms are located on the Lincoln Highway, but that thoroughfare marks the inaugu ration in this country of the old-world attitude toward convenient and pleas ant highways and byways as a means of socializing and upbuilding a large hearted, broad-minded citizenship. Age of Progress. The age is progressive. Fifty or sixty years ago this country began to build railroads, and now we have more than nearly all the rest of the world together. In place of crude industrial facilities, we have the very best on earth; yet we are behind other civil ized nations in the improvement of our roads. We are beginning now to do with our highways what should have been done long ago. The spirit of good roads is hered itary SMALL COMFORT IN PROMISE Parson Readily Agreed to Preach Fu neral Sermon, but Insisted He Must Speak the Truth. In preaching funeral sermons cler gymen often have a hard course to steer, but here is an instance where it was all plain sailing. The Rev. E B , who flour- ished in a rural district in the west of England a good many years ago, was a strictly honest but painfully frank old man. One day he was approached by one Bill M , a man of doubtful reputation, who said: “Look ’ee here, pazzon, I want to make a request of ’ee, an’ ’tis this: I want ’ee to promise you’ll preach my funeral sermon, if so be you out live me.” “Why, certainly, Bill—certainly.” “An’ I want ’ee to preach it from the words, ‘An honest man is the noblest work of God.’ ” “I’ll do it, Bill—l’ll do it for you with pleasure,” replied the parson. “And I’ll add that I’m sorry there’s such a very poor specimen in the coflin.” HOLDS CABBAGE REAL ESTATE Pennsylvania Judge Renders a Deci sion That Seems to Border on the Ludicrous. Wonders never cease in American law, remarks the Pittsburgh Press. Here comes a judge in our own state, trying a case of a man who entered his neighbor’s garden and pinched a head of cabbage. The judge decides that it was not larceny of personal property at all, and hence not a basis of criminal action; but the cabbage heads are real estate, and that the neighbor’s remedy is to bring a civil action contesting title. We have eaten garden truck—spinach and let tuce, for instance—which tasted like real estate. But we never knew be fore that to steal it was not theft. And after a cabbage head is eaten what good is the title? Now, if it had been a franchise or an election that was stolen, it would have been less surprising in the law to let the culprit go free; but who would ever have thought that the science of ju dicial hair-splitting would finally be successfully invoked to protect a plain, every-day cabbage thief? GLASS UTENSILS. A New York glass manufacturer is experimenting with the making of cooking utensils of glass. Already glass percolators and stewpans have been made which, although they rest on the flames, give no evidence of cracking and have proved heat-resist ing and nonexpansive. These uten sils are apparently not affected in any way by the intense heat under them or by the contrasting tempera tures of the articles which they con tain. Glass is for many reasons su perior to either enamel or aluminum, being affected by none of the acids or alkalies formed or used in cook ing and not subject to the insanitary cracking which is characteristic of most enameled ware. A FLIMSINESS. “What are these shadow skirts they talk about?” asked Mrs. Mc- Gudley. “There’s one,” said the saleslady. “H’m. It doesn’t look like there was hardly enough to it to cast a shadow.” THE CONTRARY RULE. “Money makes the mare go.” “It is quite the contrary if the mare happens to be entered in the races.” CATTY. “There is nothing put on about that girl.” “She does put it on so well that you can’t notice it” MEAN THING! “My, there is a lot of hens’ cack ling going on about here I” “There’s a club meeting just over the way.” THE MAIN POINT. She—This race question is a very serious proposition. He—You bet it is if you don’t get the right tips. THE REASON. “Can you tell me why so many musicians affect long hair?” “On account of the natural affinity of keys for locks.” iV:rran Calls Jog Home by Telephone. Worcester. August 29. —Mrs. F. A.
